Playing in 4K resolution is the benchmark. But you certainly need a good machine for that, don't you? Not necessarily. We present three alternatives for every budget.
Gamers love good graphics. Who can blame us? When it's all about the action and the screen fills up with explosions of all kinds, our eyes twinkle. And the higher the resolution, the bigger the smile. 4K or UHD, in other words 3840x2160 pixels, is currently the king of resolutions. Theoretically we can still do better, but we don't want to burn our wings.
The 4K gaming experience is not as inaccessible as you might think. You can even do it without selling out. I present three options for achieving that dream of ideal resolution. Only a 4K monitor is, of course, essential.
Affordable, but with compromises
Great value for money deals
If the PS4 Pro isn't an option, you'll need to up your budget and spend more. The PC should be equipped with a GTX-1080 graphics card. The processor is secondary. With it, you should be able to play a large proportion of upcoming 4K games in full detail. Admittedly, not always with 60 FPS and more, but this solution should allow you to take full advantage of the resolution.
Only the best is good enough

Philipp.Rueegg@digitecgalaxus.chAs a child, I wasn't allowed to have any consoles. It was only with the arrival of the family's 486 PC that the magical world of gaming opened up to me. Today, I'm overcompensating accordingly. Only a lack of time and money prevents me from trying out every game there is and decorating my shelf with rare retro consoles.
